Chapter 367: This Person Looks Like a Dog
The last person Fang Linyan saw who could serve as both the CEO and CTO of a company with a market value of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, was Tony Stark. He only appeared on the big movie screen…
“Do you have any clue?” Max asked Fang Linyan.
He looked at the flow of people entering SPX Corporation with some anxiety because Max had noticed that anyone who wanted to enter the building had to undergo face recognition first, then their ID would be checked.
Face recognition was the first process,
ID card was the second.
In other words, it was very difficult to get in.
But Fang Linyan nodded straightforwardly and said,
“En, I have?”
Max said,
“What?”
Fang Linyan nodded, then he did not answer Max’s words. He directly motioned him to come with him, and they walked straight toward the building.
When they came to a distance of 10 meters from the entrance of the building, a burly armed guard came over, titled his head to examine them, and said,
“Private area, ID please.”
Fang Linyan said,
“We are visitors, sir.”
The guard raised his chin to the side, then there was a blue sign stating visitor area.
There were beige marble floors, luxurious leather sofas, crystal chandeliers, and a faint smell of gardenia perfume in the air. It was just like the lobby of a five-star hotel. As for the service, it even made them feel at home.
The only difference was that this place had been divided into many sub-areas, which was convenient for the visiting guests to register and chat while protecting their privacy. From this point of view, this place was like a bank’s VIP area.
The powerful strength of SPX Corporation had been demonstrated in this visitor area.
After entering the visitor area, a lady with a professional smile came to register for them. She asked their intention.
Fang Linyan had the blessing of 2 “artifacts” at this time, so it was inconvenient for him to do the talk. Max said to her,
“Hi, a good friend of mine, Jerry Lin. He is seriously injured and is in critical condition. The doctor said that he probably won’t survive 12 hours.”
“He said that before he passes away, he wants to have a phone call with Ms. Eyrie Fanning who worked in your company. We don’t have her contact information. I hope you can pass it on to her.”
Of course, these words must have been told to Max by Fang Linyan first, and Max was just retelling them. After hearing this, the lady said with embarrassment,
“Sorry, both of you, your request does not comply with the company’s regulations. We are not allowed to actively contact the company’s employees.”
Max was not an eloquent person. After hearing what the lady said, he could only turn his head and ask Fang Linyan for help.
Fang Linyan sighed. He really wanted to do the talk, but he was afraid that the negative effect would be greater. Maybe the woman would throw a contemptuous look at him and ignore him as soon as he talked.
In this situation, Fang Linyan immediately thought of Goat. With his eloquence as a salesman, he could solve it without effort!
In desperation, Fang Linyan could only pull Max’s arm lightly, then he stood up and left.
After taking 2 steps, Max said,
“Give me 2 minutes. I need to pee.”
Fang Linyan waited for him by the side.
At this time, the reception lady also returned to her seat. She couldn’t help saying to the colleague next to her,
“Have you seen the 2 people I received just now? For some reason, I found it very unpleasant and uncomfortable to one of them!”
The colleague said,
“Huh? Is this person ugly? Or did he touch you?”
The reception lady shook her head and said,
“No. In short, I feel annoyed just looking at him! There, he hasn’t left yet.”
After the colleague saw him, she burst out laughing,
“This man looks like a dog.”
“By the way, what are they here for? You can’t just dismiss someone with a few words because you don’t like them. If you get complained, you will end up miserable.”
The reception lady curled her lips, secretly took out the mirror to touch up her makeup, and then said disdainfully,
“Why would I do this? It’s just that their request is completely against the regulations. They asked me to contact a woman named Eyrie Fanning. We…”
Just halfway through her words, the colleague next to her took a breath and said,
“Wait, say again, who are they looking for?”
“Eyrie Fanning! …”
Speaking of this, the reception lady suddenly felt that the name was familiar as if she had heard it somewhere.
The colleague had already glanced over there in shock, then she lowered her voice and said,
“In the morning meetings these 2 days, they said that this woman seems to be a commercial spy who escaped with confidential data. Any clues related to her must be reported!! Are you sure they are really looking for that woman?”
The reception lady took a deep breath and nodded slightly. Her slender fingers covered in purple nail polish had reached under the counter, then she pressed an eye-catching red button. She pressed so hard that her fingernail turned pale!
5 seconds later, a phone rang in a hurry, and the reception lady grabbed the phone,
“Hello?”
“This is the Security Department, because the emergency button is triggered, now we are making a routine call back to check. I hope it is not a mistaken touch, otherwise our boss will bring his gun and stop at the door of your Reception Department.”
Suddenly, a lazy voice came from the side,
“And there are 2 guns!”
The reception lady bit her lower lip and said in a low voice,
“You bastards! It’s not a mistake, not a mistake! Someone came here to try to contact Eyrie Fanning!!”
The voice over there suddenly became serious,
“You sure?”
Seeing Fang Linyan turned around and looked at her, the reception lady showed him a professional bright smile, but she said urgently,
“When we receive customers here, the whole process will be fully recorded. This guy seems to have noticed something… I can’t say more.”
“Listen, if you want to find these 2 people, then come with the speed you rush to the cafeteria at at noon, because they have already gone out!”
Of course, Fang Linyan and Max didn’t know these things. After the two walked out of the reception hall, they were dazzled by the sunlight. Max sighed, looked at Fang Linyan and said,
“What should we do now?”
Perhaps even Fang Linyan himself did not realize that he would always try to take the initiative to take responsibility and make choices. Oftentimes, the choices he made were quite good. This was what people often said about leadership.
After spending some time with him, Max seemed to enjoy the feeling of being well-arranged.
However, his situation was different from Goat. Goat was indecisive and difficult to make decisions. Max was decisive in making decisions, but the final success rate was really not high.
In fact, if he hadn’t insisted on the serial hidden missions, they would not have fallen into the ambush of Team Koi.
Hearing Max’s question, Fang Linyan said,
“We can only wait.”
Max wondered,
“Wait for what?”
Fang Linyan said,
“It’s about 5pm now. After the employees get off work, some will come out to eat or for errands. By then, we can catch one guy to interrogate him. In our hands, doesn’t he have to tell us what he knows? And we just need to get Eyrie Fanning’s phone number.”
Max laughed and said,
“I’m good at capturing people for interrogation.”
But at this moment, there were already 6 guards in camouflage uniforms running toward them in the distance. Fang Linyan and Max looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other’s eyes.
However, they both had decent combat power, so they let the guards surround them as if they hadn’t seen them.
Then one of the guards said,
“Excuse me, were you 2 looking for Eyrie Fanning just now?”
Fang Linyan said,
“Yes.”
The guard laughed immediately,
“It’s like this, Ms. Eyrie Fanning is a secret researcher in the company, so her identity needs to be kept secret most of the time, but she said 2 days ago that if someone comes to her, we have to bring them in.”
“Only a few senior executives knew about this incident. The people who received you 2 just now were not high level enough, so they almost made a mistake. Fortunately, you 2 haven’t gone far.”
TL: Is that how you invite someone? With several armed guards?
